Would like a good integrated to power Vandersteens

Whats your budget?

On the high/ultra end: Vitus, Gryphon...

On the powerful/slightly super-clean end: Krell Evo Integrated (equiv of 402)...might help bring them alive

On the mid-priced: NAD makes excellent stuff

Audio Analogue integrated are a very good match for Vandy's, far better than NAD,Cambridge,Rega etc.
More "all of one piece" seamless top to bottom than Creek.

I heard a 70W per channel AA Primo replave 10K woth of Atma-Sphere gear drive Magico 3 very close to as well,had to listen hard to pick out a little less depth !
AA was bought new for $5oo on closeout.

I heard the Vandy 2CE driven by audio research elecronics and the sound was excellent. Also McCormack electronics make a great match with the 2CE.

Schubert's suggestion makes sense to me...have heard extremely good things about Audio Analogue though have not heard myself. the only thing is you said Vandy's are a bit laid back for you...and you want an amp to "wake them up"...hence why i suggested SS amplification with some serious current and a tendency towards 'exactitude'.
